70 Feet Over Dutch Kills

Construction is about to begin on a 70-foot-tall residential building in the Dutch Kills section of Long Island City, in an area once “sentenced to death” by city planners.

The seven-story development dubbed “The Smyth,” at 25-16 37th Avenue, will feature a total of 75,000-square-feet, with 30,000-square-feet of residential space and 12,00-square-feet of commercial space.

The development will feature parking for 32 vehicles, 21 below ground, five on the first floor and six on the second floor, according to plans.

The first and second floors will feature office space, and floors three through seven will feature 22 condominium units.

The building will also feature 20 balconies, a fitness center for all residents and a shared, open rooftop terrace.
